In all cases, they drift. lurker encountered similar with RSRDC, and used a separate file with the survivors placed by date. They also drifted. Some of the ships do similar, in that they will drift with DockedShip=true, whereas others stay put. I do not see the differences between the ships that do drift, and those that do not... just happened to think, there is a "drag" factor in the sim files...
hey, buddy, i think you are putting way-too-much thought into this.
flip a coin to decide whether to use rescue rafts or survivors and...."let it go, indiana".
